He Nose You Know

The news that
Ms. Samantha Cameron, spouse to David Cameron, a former Prime Minister now languishing
among his financial advisers, is to confirm her status as a celebrity in her
own right by lending her name to a brand of cosmetics, personal stuff and deodorants
is perhaps not entirely a surprise.

What a pity
she did not do this a few years ago.
What fun we might have had with the idea of "Stinker Cameron"
at the head of government responsible for all those decisions on trade,
industry and the environment. The imagination might run riot, but I am not up
to it today.

No doubt some
of it will be called "natural" which means a little Ho2, as distinct
from HS2, and the odd dash or so of concentrates of the juices of some flowers
or plants.

Most of the
content and engineered to carry far and hit hard will be synthetics of standard
kinds of the petro-chemicals available in bulk from a refinery near you.

In effect the
reality is that the overall impact of these wonders of personal appearance will
be much the same as sitting on a motorway stuck behind a line of trucks which have
not been serviced for some time.

As to the
content there is enough information out there to tell you what you what it is.
It is of course a commercial enterprise to promote increased GDP, aka your
money and very likely your rising debt liabilities.

There is a
good deal of debate about the overall health and living aspect of all this
stuff which has been marketed in recent decades. How typical of Cameron it is
that in his mission to be with it and popular and impress people he has now
moved on to poisoning the planet.
